Kindertransport was a very special thing that happened a long time ago during World War II. This was when some very kind people came up with a plan to help save thousands of children who were in danger of the war.
During this time, many families were being hurt because there was a big war going on. There were soldiers who were fighting and bombs were being dropped, which means that things were exploding and falling apart. This was very scary and dangerous for everyone, especially children. Lots of children were scared and didn't feel safe where they were living.
That's when some very smart and caring people came up with an idea to help. They thought that if they could take children away from the danger and bring them to a safer place, they would be able to protect them from the war. So they started Kindertransport, which means "children's transport" in German.
Kindertransport was a special program that helped rescue thousands of children from different countries that were affected by the war. They brought the kids to England, where they could be safe and live with new families who would take care of them.
The plan was kept secret so that families who were against it wouldn't stop it from happening. The nice people who were running it made sure that everything was done carefully and safely. They helped children who didn't have families, as well as children who had families but couldn't be with them because of the war.
Although the children missed their parents and home very much, they were very happy to be safe and to have new friends and families to take care of them. Kindertransport was a very brave and kind thing that helped keep many children safe during a very scary time in history.
